What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of franchised outlets operating at the end of 2024 was 171, 43, 322, 21, 2, 8, and 1. These numbers are derived from separate tables that appear to represent different groups of franchisees. It is unclear if these groups represent different brands, store types, or territories. A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Annex Brands on how these numbers reconcile into a single system-wide total.
Specifically, one table shows that for 2024, there were 315 franchised outlets at the start of the year, 17 outlets opened, and 10 ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in 322 outlets at the end of the year. Another table indicates that there were 176 franchised outlets at the start of 2024 and 171 at the end, representing a net change of -5. A third table shows 42 franchised outlets at the start of 2024 and 43 at the end, a net change of +1. Yet another table shows 8 franchised outlets at the start of 2024 and 8 at the end, a net change of 0. Finally, one more table shows 315 total outlets at the start of 2024 and 322 at the end, a net change of +7.
Additionally, the FDD includes tables showing state-by-state outlet counts. For example, in California, there were 191 outlets at the start of 2024, 6 opened, and 6 ceased operations, leaving 191 at the end of the year. In Texas, there were 6 at the start and 6 at the end of 2024. In Wisconsin, there was 1 at the start and 1 at the end of 2024. These state-level details do not provide a single, consolidated number of total franchised Annex Brands outlets operating at the end of 2024.
Given these discrepancies and segmented data, it is essential for potential franchisees to discuss with Annex Brands the total number of operating franchised outlets and the reasons for the variations in the provided data. Understanding the overall network size and the factors influencing outlet changes is crucial for assessing the stability and growth potential of the franchise system.
